WhatsApp pricing in India
Orbit by Devotel charges a $0 platform fee to send or receive WhatsApp messages for India numbers. Devotel is Meta's tech provider for the WhatsApp Business Platform, not a BSP that marks conversations up, so you pay Meta's own published per-conversation rate for India directly and nothing extra to Orbit. Billing for every other channel on Orbit stays pure pay-as-you-go — no monthly fee, no minimums.
WhatsApp platform fee for India
Orbit platform fee · India
WhatsApp conversations to India are billed by Meta under its own marketing/utility/authentication conversation categories, at Meta's published rate for that category and market — Orbit passes that rate through unchanged and adds $0 of its own. Orbit's own platform fee covers template management, the Business API connection, and inbox tooling, and it is free. There is no monthly platform fee and no per-message fee to Orbit for India traffic.
Orbit does not set or mark up Meta's WhatsApp conversation rate for India. That charge is billed by Meta directly, at Meta's published per-category rate — see Meta's official WhatsApp Business Platform pricing for the current India figure.
Every other channel on Orbit is USD, pay-as-you-go, excluding applicable VAT, GST, or sales tax (added at checkout based on your billing address).
